Graduate Certificates

The College of Arts and Sciences offers graduate certificates designed as options for persons having a baccalaureate degree, or a master's degree, who want to enroll in a part-time, short, coherent course of study at the graduate level. Those who may not be ready to commit to a full-length graduate program, as well as those who already hold a graduate degree but want to pursue additional work in the same or another field, may find that a certificate provides the perfect alternative.

Students applying to the Graduate School to enter a certificate program must complete the Graduate School application form and submit official transcripts showing completion of the undergraduate/baccalaureate degree and two letters of recommendation.

See the Academic Policies section of the catalog to find a complete description of the options, regulations, and requirements for study and completion of a graduate certificate.
